Akarina and Hatada
"Hatata, can I ask you something?”
"Please tell me, Your Highness. I will tell you the truth.”
"Alright, alright. Just call me Asuna. Do you still want me to call you Miss Hinata?”
The two people conversing were the Princess of the Fire Country, Asuna, and the eldest daughter of the Hinata Family, Hinata Hinata. The two of them represented their respective positions and were both honored. However, what made the two of them close to each other was not their respective identities.
As the representative of the Fire Country, Akari had no choice but to interact with the various aristocratic families of Muye every day. At the same time, in order to show off their strength to the Fire Country, under the orders of the higher-ups of Muye, the aristocratic families of Muye were keen to show off their powerful martial arts to the princess.
However, Asuna, who was not interested in ninjas and was even a little disgusted, was naturally bored by these things. However, when she arrived at the Hinata family, as the number one aristocratic family in the world, the Hinata family would naturally temporarily become the strength of their own family.
Just as Asuna was feeling helpless and resisting, she met Hatata, who came to receive her. First of all, from the first impression she had, she felt that this person was of noble birth, and his status in Muye was similar to her in Daming Manor. Originally, it was just a simple exchange of words and the completion of the political mission. However, after this simple exchange, Asuna became more or less interested in Hinata. This was because from Shinata's words, she roughly understood her cowardly personality. There was nothing bad about being cowardly. She would also maintain gentleness towards servants of low status. Just as she had guessed at the beginning, Shinata was a very gentle and kind girl.
Although Asuna did not like ninjas, Hatata's personality made Asuna feel that he was not a ninja at all. Disregarding this psychological barrier, Asuna really liked Hinata quite a lot. In addition, the latter was like her, and because of her high status, she had very few friends among her peers. A similar encounter quickly resonated between the two of them. There was also a breakthrough point, which came from Kirito Hinata.
Asuna intended to ask Hinata about the Kirito people of the same race, because she loved swordsmanship very much. At the same time, she looked forward to the Kirito people's non-ninja posture, but their power was above the former.
Hatata and Kirito had been very close friends since they were young. Kirito was also the first friend that Hatata had made in the same age group. In addition, the latter had the identity of the Zong family's " guardian " before, so the relationship between the two was extremely close, whether it was on the surface or behind the scenes. Hatata also looked forward to meeting his childhood friend. Many things had happened after that. His identity as the guardian of the Kirito people had been stripped away, and the elders of the clan had stopped him from interacting with her. Although they rarely interacted with each other, they could still understand the firm existence of this emotional bond with just a glance when they met.
" Kirito... well... he's a very gentle, sunny, and cheerful person..." Hatata seemed to have recalled some beautiful things. As he spoke, he no longer had his usual submissive tone, and there was a faint smile on his face that came from the bottom of his heart." He can be free and do whatever he wants... He's ostracized by his elders and ridiculed by his clansmen, but none of this can affect him." Others only thought that he was weak and did not dare to resist, but they did not know what the real Kirito was thinking. He doesn't care about the Hinata family at all, or rather, it's because he's not interested that he doesn't even resist leaving the Hinata family…"
"..." After learning about the Kirito people from Hinata, Asuna's eyes flashed with a strange light. Unfettered and free? To be able to completely ignore something that he was not interested in…Was such a thing really possible? Then, can I…allow it…too?
"Asuna?"
"Yeah…I'm fine. I just remembered something.”
Hatata's voice brought Asuna back to her senses from her complicated thoughts.
"Hinata, take me out to visit the wooden leaves.”Feeling a little depressed, Asuna wanted to go out and get some fresh air. Although the Hyuga family mansion was big, the clean and white walls gave off an inexplicable sense of oppression.
" Mm." Hatata was secretly delighted when he heard that Asuna was going out for a walk. Normally, apart from carrying out missions as a Kinoha Ninja, he would need the approval of the elders of the tribe every time he went out. However, today, the excuse of accompanying the princess was enough to make the rigid elders in the family nod in agreement.
Just like that, the two of them arrived at Muye's street and strolled around. Asuna refused to send a guard team to the Hinata family with the reason that " this is the commercial and political center of Koba, and we absolutely trust safety." When she was in the Daming Manor, the annoying guards followed her wherever she went. There were people watching everywhere, and there was always a pair of eyes staring at her. Now that it was not easy for her to go out, how could she allow such a disappointing thing to happen?
The Hinata family could not disobey Asuna's refusal. Moreover, this place was located in the political and economic center of Kinoha, and its safety factor was higher than any other place in Ninja Realm. Therefore, there was really no need for guards.
On this trip, Hatata and Asuna were both dressed in ordinary private clothes, so they did not look particularly eye-catching. Hatata's silver eyes were the symbol of the Kogaba family, and ordinary people could recognize them. However, Asuna was different. When she came to Kogaba, although there was a group of onlookers, Asuna was sitting in a gorgeous carriage, and most people did not get a glimpse of the princess. However, in the following period of time, the aristocratic families that Mingri Na met were all a minority of the upper-class people in the Koba family. Therefore, no one knew her true identity when she changed into ordinary private clothes and strolled on the streets.
However, the pedestrians who were walking around now only turned their heads purely because of the image of the cute girl.
